Draft Grade — Seahawks
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Seahawks did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Seahawks bet big and early on Michael Barrett, 23 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Allen. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In No. 16 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value.
Pick78 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in slot 78, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick81 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at pick 81 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick119 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the 119th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in pick No. 151 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick194 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Barrett well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick233 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
